How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Stillwater?

A bathroom remodel in Stillwater costs $20,000 to $32,000 for a refined refresh, $35,000 to $60,000 for a full custom primary bath, and $60,000 to $90,000 or more for a spa build. Shower and tub replacements start at $12,000. The written proposal is firm for the scoped work.

The homes we work in here

Stillwater splits between grand historic homes near the river, with Victorian framing, sloped ceilings, and staircases that have stories, and newer builds up on the bluffs carrying big primary suites from the 1990s and 2000s. Both reward a layout-first builder: the historic homes because nothing in them is square, and the bluff homes because the rooms are large enough that a bad layout shows from the doorway.

Character homes get character-level respect. We design around original details worth keeping, plan tile layouts that handle imperfect walls honestly, and protect century-old floors from the entry to the bathroom threshold.

WHEN NOTHING IS SQUARE

How do you tile a bathroom in a house where nothing is square?

By measuring the actual room rather than assuming a rectangle, then drawing the layout so the out-of-square shows up where the eye forgives it. Walls get checked corner to corner, the starting course gets chosen so cuts split the difference across a wall instead of tapering, and large-format tile gets placed where the floor is flattest.

A historic bathroom punishes a crew that starts setting tile without measuring first. These 4 decisions get made on paper.

01

The room gets measured corner to corner

A 100-year-old bathroom can be 2 inches wider at one end than the other. We measure every wall at multiple heights before pricing, because that variance decides the layout and sometimes decides the tile.

02

The starting course splits the difference

Starting from a corner and running until the tile stops is how a wall ends in a taper. We set the layout so the out-of-square divides across the run, leaving matched cuts at both ends instead of one full tile and one sliver.

03

Large format goes where the floor is flattest

Big tile telegraphs every dip in an old subfloor. We flatten what we can and place the largest formats where the substrate supports them, dropping to a smaller format where the structure argues for it rather than fighting the house.

04

Original details get designed around

Original trim, a leaded window, or a stair detail worth keeping becomes the anchor of the layout rather than an obstacle to it. We tell you at the consultation which details are worth building around and which ones are already past saving.

Can you work in a historic home without losing its character?
Yes, and the original details usually become the anchor of the design. We tell you plainly which details are worth building around and which are already past saving, and we protect original floors from your chosen entry to the bathroom threshold.
Do you serve the surrounding valley?
Yes. Stillwater, the bluff neighborhoods, and out through the St. Croix Valley, along with Lake Elmo and Mahtomedi nearby.
Will an old house cost more to remodel?
Sometimes, and the reason is usually plumbing or subfloor rather than tile. We scope supply lines, drains, and framing at the consultation so those conditions are priced into the written number instead of appearing after demolition.
